Adjustment

 Chiropractic can help you sleep better for a couple different reasons. When you are out of alignment, you tend to tighten your jaw joint and masseter muscles. In return, it will close down your airway while you lay down for bed. This can cause snoring, decreased oxygen, and make you never get to deep REM sleep. When you keep your neck in alignment, you will be ensuring you get the right amount of oxygen while you sleep. No more tossing and turning and being awake throughout the night. Chiropractic adjustments to your neck on a regular basis will decreases your chances of ever developing sleep apnea.

The other way your chiropractor can help you sleep is by decreasing your body’s stress hormone – Cortisol. Every time you see your chiropractor, your body naturally lowers it’s cortisol level. Cortisol causes your body to be wired (almost like coffee/caffeine.) There is no avoiding our daily stressful lives. We all have stress that bombards us throughout our daily lives. Whether you are stressed at work, family issues, financial issues, or there just isn’t enough hours in the day; we can all relate and we all have and feel the same stresses. All this stress adds up to more and more cortisol produced in your body and more cortisol in your blood stream means you cannot sleep as well. Cortisol is actually one of the reasons why a lot of us cannot wind down at night. As a result, seeing your chiropractor on a weekly basis or even twice a month, your cortisol levels will stay in check. Each chiropractic adjustment to your spine will decrease the cortisol your body is producing.
